We who? Robert has done an outstanding job of documenting what the right way is. The only people who can't agree to it are people who refuse to acknowledge his work on this issue. Frankly looking at the commit history to releasemanagement.xml I could care less what their opinion is- they've
had years to express it in that document and utterly failed to do so.

I agree that Robert has done an outstanding job of documenting the right way. But in the days long cassandra thread that sparked this one, no one ever brought up that URL that Craig finally dug up yesterday. Until yesterday I think that some people didn't know (or agree with) the *right* way. It has nothing to do with acknowledging Robert's work. If we are going to come down on the podlings for not following the rules, then we should make sure that we give them straight talk on what the *right* definitive rules are. That clearly didn't happen in this case.
